Hillside New Jersey: The Hillside Times 1934. 1934. A fresh bright copy. Clean square tight and unmarked. No owner's name or bookplate. Illustrated throughout with photos and prints. From the author's Foreword: "In writing the history of the territory now known as Hillside Township and vicinity it has been necessary in the beginning to go into the history of the early settlements of both Elizabethtown and Newark so that the reader may have a proper perspective on the subject. It has also been necessary later in the text to go into the history of territory now included in Union Township Newark and Elizabeth as the territory treated upon was considered a part of the community now known as Hillside Township in the early days. I have in the short space allotted me made an effort to blend with the story the background which helped to bring about certain conditions and events the economical reasons and the trend of thought existent at the time." Sponsored by Hurden-Looker Post No. 50 American Legion of Hillside. At the end are many unnumbered pages of local business advertising. Laid-in is a "Souvenir Program" for the "40th Anniversary of the Incorporation of the Township of Hillside 1913-1953" conducted at the Abram P. Morris School Auditorium Coe Avenue May 26 1953.

WOODSWORTH MICHAEL
Battle For Bed-stuy: The Long War On Poverty In New York City
Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2016. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Half a century after the launch of the War on Poverty its complex origins remain obscure. Battle for Bed-Stuy reinterprets President Lyndon Johnson's much-debated crusade from the perspective of its foot soldiers in New York City showing how 1960s antipoverty programs were rooted in a rich local tradition of grassroots activism and policy experiments. Bedford-Stuyvesant a Brooklyn neighborhood housing 400000 mostly black mostly poor residents was often labeled "America's largest ghetto." But in its elegant brownstones lived a coterie of home-owning professionals who campaigned to stem disorder and unify the community. Acting as brokers between politicians and the street Bed-Stuy's black middle class worked with city officials in the 1950s and 1960s to craft innovative responses to youth crime physical decay and capital flight. These partnerships laid the groundwork for the federal Community Action Program the controversial centerpiece of the War on Poverty. Later Bed-Stuy activists teamed with Senator Robert Kennedy to create America's first Community Development Corporation which pursued housing renewal and business investment. Bed-Stuy's antipoverty initiatives brought hope amid dark days reinforced the social safety net and democratized urban politics by fostering citizen participation in government. They also empowered women like Elsie Richardson and Shirley Chisholm who translated their experience as community organizers into leadership positions. Yet as Michael Woodsworth reveals these new forms of black political power though exercised in the name of poor people often did more to benefit middle-class homeowners. Bed-Stuy today shaped by gentrification and displacement reflects the paradoxical legacies of midcentury reform. 424 pages 6-1/8 x 9-1/4 inches 24 halftones. Michael Woodsworth teaches history at Bard High School Early College Queens. "This original and well-written account of postwar community activism makes an excellent and provocative case that Bed-Stuy long overshadowed by Harlem is a key site for understanding postwar African American history."�Karen Ferguson author of Top Down: The Ford Foundation Black Power and the Reinvention of Racial Liberalism "An impressive work that shows how local bureaucracies and energized political activists�in this case innovative African American residents and property owners�made the War on Poverty do what it was intended to do: reflect the interests of local people who knew Bed-Stuy was a community not a so-called slum."�Kent B. Germany University of South Carolina "In this engaging and powerful book Michael Woodsworth recasts the War on Poverty as the fruit of a long community-based struggle against urban disinvestment and racism. By showing just how much of 1960s urban reform percolated up from the grassroots Battle for Bed-Stuy offers fresh insight into the relationship between activism and policy and the promises and perils of place-based politics."�Mason B. Williams author of City of Ambition: FDR LaGuardia and the Making of Modern New York Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2016 hardcover
